About this property

Archer's Rock-Luxurious Ocean front cottage at Chukka Cove w/Private Plunge Pool

**Archer's Rock, newly renovated 3 bedroom with stairs enclosure, Private Plunge Pool & Chef/housekeeper**. No smoking inside please!

~~We have partnered with a medical facility that will provide mobile services for the Covid-19 tests at your convenience to return home if required. The test is done at the Villa - everyone 2 years and over can be tested and are provided with a scanned QR barcode result~~

Archer's Rock is a beautiful luxurious three bedroom with its own private ensuites, large covered patio set in a tropical garden, now includes a private plunge pool; the front lawn was used in the filming of the 2016 Season 20 finale of the Bachelor with Ben Higgins while staying at Chukka Cove!

Conveniently located between the resort towns of Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay on Jamaica's North Coast, and tucked away at Chukka Cove Farm, Archer's Rock provides unique access to a truly Jamaican experience. The Perfect Tropical Escape!

Archer's Rock is far from pretentious and its staff, even more so. It is a warm and inviting 'real' home set on a farm and hidden amidst pastures and lush foliage on the edge of dramatic ocean front cliffs in a rural setting. With newly expanded, renovated space and upgraded furniture, modern appliances and kitchen to include a third bedroom/ensuite; it's nothing like the mega all inclusive resorts, sitting in a lovely groomed area shared with only five other villas. Here in the country, you may wake up to the sound of roosters, sometimes hear the neighbouring dogs barking, listen to the crickets and frogs songs at night. Of course, like all farms, the property has its own resident cat however, if you have allergies, they are not allowed upstairs and we will keep them away. The friendly neighbour's dogs occasionally come for a visit and you can also see the horses grazing in the morning.

Come immerse yourself in the real Jamaica and soak your cares away in the turquoise waters of the cove or in the private plunge pool used only by Archer's Rock guests. A safe place with security on grounds to vacation without being locked in a compound!

Your private paradise has 3 bedrooms each with its own full ensuites and AC on the upper level. Each with their own amazing ocean and or garden views.

Upgraded kitchen, laundry room and a sitting/dining room combo that boasts large sliding glass doors that open onto an expansive furnished newly renovated covered patio and private plunge pool perfect for lounging and cooling off. Bathroom # 4, an outdoor oasis shower concept that completes the lower level.

The cliffs at Chukka Cove are dramatic and extensive, great for exploring or simply listening to the sound of the waves crashing ashore. On calm days, a ladder takes you into the cool clear waters.

On property, the steps take you to a small sandy cove, safe and perfect for young children to swim and play. We suggest wearing water shoes. On days when the sea swells and you seek calmer waters, a two minute walk east along the edge of the polo field takes you to the spectacular Chukka Cove, a sheltered bay where the waters are always calm and cliff jumping, swimming and snorkelling are the order of the day.

Amazing!
Arthur's Rock did not disappoint! From the moment that I made the booking, Trish was in regular communication to ensure that I received all documentation. All of my questions were answered promptly and fully. Then we arrived at the villa. Ms. Carlene greeted us at the gate and from that point onwards made sure that we were comfortable. She is the perfect balance between attentiveness and privacy. The villa is absolutely beautiful, the grounds extremely well kept and the view and overall ambience 5 ⭐. I recommend Arthur's Rock at Chukka Cove to anyone who wants to completely relax, in beautiful surroundings and not worry about meals. Whether you are a couple, family or small group, this villa will not disappoint. Thank you again Ms. Carlene and Arthur's Rock for an unforgettable experience!

Have you ever had such an amazing trip that everybody was crying when it was time to leave because we didn’t want to leave Ms. Carleen. She is EVERYTHING! she made our stay beyond amazing. I sprang my ankle before coming on the trip and Ms Carleen did her magic. I was out jumping off cliffs at the blue whole. Me and my kids have already booked to go back in April. See you soon Ms Carleen and Andrew just amazing people.

Relaxing 25th anniversary vacation
The villa has an amazing location! The views from bedroom 1 and 2 are wonderful to wake up to each morning as you get a full ocean view from the large windows. The beds and pillows in all 3 bedrooms are so comfortable and there was plenty of closet and drawer space in each bedroom. Ms Carleen is a fabulous housekeeper and chef. She made delicious meals for us and accommodated our request for a low level of spiciness. Andrew was so friendly and made us feel very safe on the property. Tony and Martin kept the grounds looking great all week long. All of the staff are very hard working and friendly. The only con was that the internet connection isn't consistently strong, but I'm not sure there is anything that could be done in that matter. We were there to unplug and relax so maybe it was better that we couldn't check email sometimes. Overall I would highly recommend Villa 1 for privacy due to it's location on the grounds and for Ms. Carleen and her patient demeanor when trying to make everyone in the family happy at mealtime. We would definitely like to come back for another vacation and maybe bring some other families with us to stay in Villa 2 & 3.

Taste of paradise
We were a family group ranging from 6 to 78 and it worked for all of us. The house, the setting, the view, the food, everyone looking after us, we couldn’t ask for anything more. The villa and the grounds are even lovelier in real life. We had the grounds and the pool and the bay almost to ourselves for our whole stay. Jumping and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the bay was my highlight. We went out on a couple of trips out, but it was lovely to unwind and be looked after so well on site, we didn’t need to do too much. Mrs C is a true star, her food is incredible and we all tried new things and enjoyed every mouthful. The grounds team and security are all amazing too. We felt very safe in a beautiful setting. Sitting in front of villa 1 with the ocean as the back garden is something I’ll never forget. Thanks to you all for the holiday of a lifetime.

A magical paradise
Chukka cove is the perfect vacation setting. It is a true paradise untouched by commercialization. The villas are updated and provide modern amenities. Ms Carlene and the other ladies who manage the villas are amazing cooks and willing to adjust to the dietary needs of all the guests. The view is extraordinary, the snorkling and clif jumping are amazing, the porches provide the perfect amount of privacy and community at the same time. This was the most relaxing, low-key, rejuvenating vacation we have ever had. We can't wait to return!

Relaxing Villa
Our family enjoyed a relaxing week at Archer's Rock Villa 1. In addition to the beautiful, well-kept house, we enjoyed delicious home cooking Jamaican style (thanks to Carlene). We also enjoyed the picturesque views and property (thanks to Martin), and felt very safe with Phillip on site, their resident security guard. We appreciated the relaxing environment over a resort!!

Amazing Country Getaway
Could not have imagined a better holiday for the family if I tried! The house was perfectly situated on an expansive but quaint property with a private pool for the kids, an infinity pool just steps away and a private sandy cove perfect for young kids. We took a stroll around the farm every night to visit the animals and picked fresh fruit off the trees everyday. Carlene was incredible and the kids loved her. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with your family, you’ve found it here!

A Dream
Our stay at Archer's Rock was a dream. The house was beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the view was incredible. All of the staff were so kind and we especially loved Ms. Carlene's delicious meals. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 which includes a tween and a teen. The grounds are well taken care of and the location is quiet and peaceful. away from the big resorts, but close enough to attractions for day trips. We enjoyed seeing the horses each day and doing the Chukka horseback riding tour. We'd love to go back someday.

Exceeds Expectation.
Exceeds Expectation. The property is beyond beautiful. The pictures as gorgeous as they are, do not do justice to how it looks in person. Imagine this... you wake up to the sight of clear blue skies meeting clear blue waters. You saunter over down to the kitchen, pour yourself a cup of coffee, that Ms Carleene (shes beyond lovely) made for you. and sit out on the patio, listening to the ocean and looking out over the cliffs. The coffee gives you this sudden burst of energy and you walk over to the edge of the property (about 200 yards) and jump over the cliffs into the ocean for a short swim. The board says "no lifeguards on duty" but Tony and Martin are always watching, keeping an eye out ensuring everyone is safe. You come back from your refreshing swim to a sumptous breakfast that Ms Carleene has laid out for you and its all kinds of delicious. Ackee and Saltfish FTW. After breakfast yuou lounge around and can take a swim , plan for an outdoor activity, visit places you want to see , David (Pai Pai) has you back, smooth. Or you can have Tony and Martin take you to the other end of the property, jump off the cliffs, swim a 100 yards to see a naturally formed batcave(yes, there are bats there) Right around the corner (5 min walk) is a lagoon where people come to snorkel, you can have Tony and/or Martin take you there for an amazing swim. When you are sitting out there in the night, you will not even be aware of Phillip keeping an eye out over the entire property, hes like a security ninja, ensuring your safety. BTW this is day 1. you can rinse and repeat or do something else, as the Jamaicans say ... No Problem! The property is great, but the the people that take care of you like family . Ms Carleene, Tony, Martin, Phillip and David these are the people that make the trip Exceed Expectation!

A very special and truly enjoyable place!
This is a very special house! From the moment you open the front door and see the deep blue ocean straight ahead through the big glass doors opening to the patio you know you're in for something special. The house is very recently renovated and pristine with all amenities you could want, including a big jacuzzi and outdoor shower! The housekeeper miss Carlene spoiled us with gorgeous breakfasts, treats and delicious Jamaican dinners. Anything we asked for, she made! The only thing we had to worry about is where to swim: in the sea with great snorkeling, in the protected cove, in the large swimming pool or in the jacuzzi! A very memorable and comfortable stay, highly recommended!

Perfect Getaway
We loved the whole experience! The house and grounds are beautiful and immaculate. The house manager, Ms. Carleen, took care of us like family. She is phenomenal and so great with kids. It was the best of both worlds for me. My husband and I loved the serene, relaxing atmosphere but there was still plenty for our 4-year-old son to explore (pool, huge backyard, cove, Chukka farm animals). The only minor issue was the internet signal didn’t work upstairs. But all things considered, it was a dream. We can’t wait to go back!

Birthday in Jamaica!!! (Solo Vaca)
I have no idea where to start. From the moment I touched down in Jamaica life was wonderful. My driver Dez whom is also my friend and security picked me up from the airport. Sorry Dez does not come with the Villa..he is mine! :-) Arrived to the villa and was greeted with the warmest welcome from Ms. C!!! She cooked me the most amazing meals!!! ((Eyes rolling)) Her spirit is Amazing and her laugh brought me joy. I see in the reviews people complained about privacy...ummm its Jamaica and the people here are family types. So you might want to visit somewhere else if you dont like people. I loved seeing them around the property as you feel safe and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Just like the photos. Ms C. keeps an EXTREMELY tidy place. I MEAN SPOTLESS!! Philip is there to be sure your safe at night. The property welcomes you with its beauty and nature sounds in the evening. VILLA 1 is the prime location. It directly overlooks the ocean and you may see a passing cruise ship in the dark of night which is cool to see. Man, I could go on and on and I will definitely be back to this property. Thank you to Ms Trish as well for directing us when we first arrived. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!!! ❤❤❤❤#JamaicaIsLife

Return visit
We loved this property/staff so much we came back a second year and are already planning our visit for next year. It is so peaceful and relaxing it is truly a place to stay if you want a true vacation. There is plenty of tours to enjoy from Chukka, but we chose to take advantage of the cove, the pool, the amazing grounds and just enjoying time with the staff. Carleen is phenomenal cook, no need to eat out with her in the kitchen. She bought us what was fresh in the market and always had delicious meals waiting for us. Philip is always there to help and Anthony can take you snorkeling in the cove or to the bat cave. Looking forward to our trip next year!!

Unforgettable experience!
We were very blessed to have come across this property and its amazing staff of quality people. I cannot recommend it enough! We were there for 6 days and only left the house once. You have cliffs right behind the house with several levels of jumps; which all end in the most vividly clear water you'll ever see. You can see clearly see the bottom from outside the water. If you are into some excitement, ask Anthony to take you to some other special spots on the property. the sheltered cove and the bat cave are out if this world and will give your family an experience of a lifetime. To top it off, our host Carlene was simply amazing! She treated my family and I as if we were her own, and one cant help but make connections with people like that. I STRONGLY recommend you try all of her soups, jerk chicken, pumpkin rice, Festival bread and anything she makes really. Phillip is very attentive and will be of great help should you need any guidance while there. The property is full of amazing fruit tress like mango, avocados and cherries to name a few, and it is expertly landscaped by the crew. My family and I went to the blue hole, tubing and zip-lining... we haven't stopped talking about it. The property offers several unique qualities that no resort or hotel can compare with. Should you need/want to explore the surrounding areas, David will be your guide. I recommend doing your grocery shopping yourself, at either Progressive or Champion Supermarkets. The nearby grocery store is rather expensive and for a weeks worth of groceries, it's better you find an alternative. Take plenty of sunscreen and water shoes as they will be very useful around the cliffs and in any Chukka Adventure tours you happen to venture on. Being that the house is on Chukka property, all tours come with a 25% discount. I want to thank everyone who made this experience so great! Especially Carlene, Anthony and Phillip. We cant wait to be back.

Fantastic!!!
I would give this place 6 stars if I could!! You name it: Miss Carlene taking care of your every whim at the house, Anthony's impeccable care of the grounds and pool, Phillip providing security and friendly acquaintance, David personal driver with abundance of local knowledge and professionalism...I can go on and on. Best vacation my family has ever taken. Want to do all the adventures close and far? (i brought my 16 and 12 year old kids), this group will make it easy, answer all your questions, help with any arrangements needed. Want to lounge by the pool, in the hammock, or on the patio and soak in your own little piece of heaven doing nothing, look no further. You can do as much or as little as you like. The house was maintained impeccably by Miss Carlene and the meals she made us were excellent. My only regret is I should have asked Miss Carlene to cook for us more, she is a very good cook and just a sweet woman. Conveniences like groceries (delivered if you like) right across the way, sheets and towels replenished daily, updated and clean washrooms, cold AC for warm nights, are all better than any all-inclusive you may be contemplating. My warmest regards to the wonderful group at Chukka Cove-you provided a fantastic vacation getaway for me and my family. :-)

Good not great
I wanted to love this place and it was unfortunately disappointing. The property itself is beautiful but the villa is extremely run down. The staff on the property is nice but are there all day (not their fault it is what they are told to do) and sit right out front of the villa so there is no privacy. We came for Valentine’s Day and rented a villa for privacy and unfortunately got the opposite. Miss Carline is so nice but we ate most meals out. We also had a very difficult time with the locals when we left the villa and found the customer service at local reataursnts to be extremely disappointing. The house cat Reds and the driver Clarence were the absolute best. We went to chukka tours and they knew nothing about the discount. The local store is very expensive and Ocho Rios itself is very impoverished it was very upsetting to see. Just giving an honest review as I was shocked after reading so many great reviews. Again no offense to the staff they are fantastic I just wanted to share our unfortunately disappointing experience.

About the host

Hosted by Zander Melville

Host profile image
Originally from Ocho Rios, we are a family of three brothers who live, work & play in Jamaica. Marc, Daniel Jr & I love our beautiful Island, 'The land of wood and water'. Dad built the villa in 1985 as a family weekend getaway to relax, unwind and play our favourite sport, polo.
We have since purchased Archer's Rock aka Villa 1 from Dad, because we wanted our children and the rest of the world to experience a little piece of paradise. We work hard and we play hard!
We invite you to share our home away from home and enjoy the true Jamaican experience.

Why they chose this property

The amazing scenery, breathtaking views of the cliffs and the Caribbean sea, as well as access to all activities at Chukka where it's always Play Time. It's safe, quiet and serene.

What makes this property unique

The stunning view of the sea from the bedrooms and the covered patio offers an ambiance of tranquility and peace. The large landscaped grounds, and hidden coves provide the perfect getaway with picturesque sunrise and sunsets. The villa is fully staffed, sit back, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures!
